Z-Finder EVF

The Zacuto Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is a 3.2” high resolution monitor to be used in conjunction with any Z-Finder model. The EVF is compatible with all cameras that have an HDMI output, including most DSLRs, the Panasonic AF-100, Sony F3, RED ONE, RED Scarlet and RED Epic. The EVF is compatible with the Blackmagic Camera (or other camera with no HDMI output) with use of the Blackmagic HD-SDI to HDMI mini converter. The EVF allows you to operate with your camera "in-line" with your rod system and an offset viewfinder in front of your eye. We believe, this traditional film camera and ENG camera style of shooting is the most stable and comfortable. Now we can work this way with any camera! The EVF enhances the stability of any set up, gives you better resolution and focus ability, allows you to get your eye where it most comfortably needs to be, enables low mode shooting, and shortens a shoulder mounted camera package. With an external viewfinder, you’re no longer trapped behind the back of your camera. You can have your camera on a dolly or crane or in a car or anywhere and have the EVF in your hand.

The Z-Finder EVF is a complete EVF. It includes the EVF Snap model and our Z-finder Jr optical viewfinder. The viewfinder snaps onto the frame built into the monitor. The optical viewfinder contains high quality 2.5x optics and includes anti-fog shields. It does not include a diopter, but comes with three Zacuto Z-Finder Extender Frames. The Extender Frames allow farsighted users to extend the body of the Z-finder in steps in order to reach desired focus point. This method is not as precise as the diopter method used on our Z-finder Pro models.

New firmware upgrades and EVF tech support can be found here.

EVF Tri Mount Kit

The EVF Tri-Mount Kit gives the option to mount the EVF in 3 different ways. It gives you the option to use the EVF Standard Mount when shooting handheld (off the side of the Zacuto DSLR Baseplate), the Extender Viewfinder Mount when shooting on a tripod or dolly, or in quick release hotshoe mount configuration (see detailed images).

The Tri-Mount includes the EVF Standard Mount as well as a 7” M/F rod and a ZUD ¼” 20. The 7” M/F rod allows you to use the EVF in an extender viewfinder position. To use the extender viewfinder mount, remove the EVF Mount from the Z-Mount Zwivel, then screw the 7” M/F rod into the EVF Mount and then slide the Z-mount Zwivel wherever you like so that you can position your EVF to your desired position.

The included ZUD ¼” 20 allows you to free the camera and EVF from your rig and mount it quickly to the hot shoe mount of your camera. In order to use the quick release hot shoe mount effectively, the hot shoe mount included with the EVF should be mounted on your camera’s hot shoe adapter. Then screw the ZUD ¼” 20 into the hot shoe mount and leave that on your camera’s hot shoe adapter. You can then quickly release or attach the EVF from either the Standard Mount or Extender Viewfinder mount with a flip of the lever. This is essential for releasing your camera as well as your EVF from your rig in a matter of seconds.

The Zicro Mini allows you to quickly release your EVF from the EVF Rod mount with a flip of the lever.

It uses our Universal Baseplate to mount to any camera, including the Panasonic AF-100, Sony F3, Sony FS100, RED ONE, HVX200 and other cameras of this size.

The EVF Filmmaker Kit comes with our Q-Release which enables the shoulder pad to sit underneath the Universal Baseplate, shortening the length of the rig for better stability and balance on your shoulder. With the included EVF Rod Mount, your EVF or small monitor (under 5") will be mounted offset to the rig so that your eye is positioned comfortably in front of it. The Zgrips Beefy included with the kit are infinitely adjustable with un-parallel strength. Designed for camera packages between 22-40 lbs, each grip can be moved up, down, left, right, as well as fully articulate at the wrist. You can also set the grip length and position to where you feel most comfortable for a stable and balanced rig. The Zwiss Plate cheese plate on the back of the rig allows you to mount virtually anything with the provided 1/4 20" and 3/8 16" holes, including batteries and the AJA Ki Pro Mini.

EVF Cheese Stick

The EVF Cheese Stick is an accessory for the Zacuto EVF. It attaches to the EVF via two of the four accessory screw holes on the back of the unit. You can mount the Cheese Stick either on the top or bottom of the EVF in 3 different positions. Mounting the Cheese stick with the step facing out enables you to use a Zicro Mini to mount a Zamerican Arm using our z-release technology. This will prevent the Zicro Mini from spinning loose and un-threading - a common issue with standard mounting arms. All of these options give you more flexibility in mounting your EVF. The EVF Cheese Stick has 5 ¼” 20 thread holes aligned in a row which allows you to under sling the EVF in multiple positions giving you more reach for articulating arms. In most cases this is extremely useful when mounting the EVF off of one of the ¼” 20 holes on the larger video cameras like the Sony F3 or Panasonic AF100. See detailed pictures
